If i wanted the job of marine biologist i want to be in water 90% of the time
Same
Same
Same
Unfortunately thats not alot of the job
same
When u wanna be a Marine Biologist but u suck at math in general
Same😅
Same
I don’t 😬
For me it’s chemistry and statistics
It do be like that
Michaela: I can’t wait to tour universities in 2020!
Corona: *I’m about to end this man’s whole career*
Faxxx
😭
Man’s??
💀💀💀💀
I graduated on 2020 and didn't get a graduation and to find a job took forever then I had to quit right away😭
I've been wanting to be a marine biologist ever since I was 4 and I still do I am 15 now
omgggg me too girl !!!
Same girl
Same
I feel that! I’ve wanted to do marine biology since I was 7 and I only have one more year til college :) it’s my calling
Same but i wanted to be a marine bio since i even had memory
Hi!!! I am in an undergrad in Marine and Antarctic Science in Australia. Marine Science is just an umbrella term for all science of the ocean (eg. oceanography and ocean chemistry etc.). Marine Bio is a field within marine science. Hope this helps :) Subscribed!
B D which uni?
Thank you for the help! I am planning to major in Marine Science in the fall, and I did know the difference between Marine Biology and Marine Science.
Hi is there a way I can DM you?
@@cheezballz9916 Might be the University of Tasmania. They have a program with this name.
Agreed!! Do your research first my daughter just finished local college and transferred to Texas A&M Galveston where she switched from marine biologist to marine science which I taught is much better. More on the environmental side. She too like many loves the ocean but realistically my concern was what they make without research funding it can become a hard challenge. Besides the math & chemistry I was happy she switched but to his his own. You ha e to also love what you do.
(highschooler here) I'm not GREAT at math but I loove science! I wanna work in wildlife with fish and coral (in the tropics lol) and this video was INCREDIBLY helpful :) thanks girl
@elliesspace i graduate high school in seventeen days and i'm going to university for environmental science and conservation. seeing me say this two years ago just confirms my recent doubts. thank you for your wishes and thank you for all of your help🫶🏻
@@alexisranae2680 Good luck with everything!
@@alexisranae2680 how's it going!! :)
@@augustlusty WONDERFUL! i'm genuinely so passionate about environmental science and love everything i do and continue to do
Ugh I wanna study marine bio but I cannot do chem like I hated it last year so it’s not happening again
Riley Lyn Me too, but I think it was because the way my chemistry teacher taught it.
I would say don’t let that stop you. It’s probably all about the teacher you have plus college has so many resources and tutors to help you through! Follow your dreams!!
The chem requirement for most marine bio programs is first year chem. If you took it in high school it's basically the same material. Don't let it put you off if you're really interested! I also second Kelsey that schools know first year chem can be a struggle and there are so many resources to help students.
Kate Sarah trust me when i say that it being the same as high school chem puts me off even more lmao.
Hi 👋 right now I'm in my second year in marine biology, I agree that chemistry is a little bit tough especially if you are not a big fan of science and math related subject, but there are a lot of subject that you will encounter that will make you realize that you love being in sea. I'm on my second year and I regret nothing, you may have struggle in your first year but trust it's worth it.
oh no math and chem :( well, there goes my future plans
me too now i dont know what career to pick
I THOUGHT THE SAME THING
Exactlyyy idk about chem yet bc I’ve never really done it but math oh my gosh I HATE MATH I JUST HATE IT IT’S MY WORST SUBJECT I JUST CAN’T. DO. MATH. HELP.
Same! Never liked math, never took chem, but if it will get me to reach my goals of being a marine biologist I’ll just try my best :) my boyfriend studies audio engineering which also includes a lot of math so i know he’ll help me if I need it, so I think you should hang onto those future plans and try to seek someone out to help you in areas you struggle!
I would still do it because it’s such a cool and fascinating career.
Seeing a video on different schools that are good for marine bio would be something I would love to see!
Hannah Love Starla thanks for your feedback! i will add it to my video list :)
Look into Eckerd!
I would love to *sea*
You lost me at “trig”
Honestly I've looked at quite a few marine science programs and most of them don't require more than first year chem, one stats class, and calculus, usually just differential calc.
Kate Sarah is that all collage level or does a passing grade in highschool count
@@haileyl4546 It's college-level, but first year courses are usually a recap of high school in my experience. For instance, I took regular grade 11/12 chem in high school and first year chem in university and I don't remember anything in first year chem (2 semesters) being new material to me. In order to get into marine bio programs, though, most programs require high school chemistry, biology, and precalc at a bare minimum. If you're planning on a more oceanography track rather than marine bio, physics is good to have if you can.
Marine bio programs tend to have the first two years as a general biology degree, then the actual marine bio courses start in third year. I'm a third-year oceanography major with a marine bio minor and my first year was intro biology, chemistry, calculus (marine bio usually only needs 1 calculus class but oceanog requires the full year of differential and integral calc), and intro stats, which was just one class. My second year was intro oceanography, which is required for marine bio majors at my school, and all the core bio classes (genetics/molecular bio, cell, ecology, evolution, animal bio, and microbiology/plant bio). The marine biology program where I am is super flexible and oceanography is not at all, so I've basically just been picking my marine bio courses for my minor around my required oceanography classes.
If you took IB/AP courses in high school, you might be able to transfer credits. Hope this helped, and feel free to ask me any other questions!
I’m so scared I won’t be able to do it. I know if I study really hard I will be okayish but I’m a horrible studier 😭 and it’s a mix of me being lazy and me not being able to focus ever
lmaoo sameee
I was the only one of my class in highschool that wanted to study marine biology. Now that I started college, meeting so many people that are passionate about the same things I am is pretty empowering! There's definitely a lot of us out there
I was that person too,
We're on the same boat, buddy :'3
It's certainly hard to get actual hands on experience when studying. We offer field courses for those deciding if they want to go on to study marine biology and for those who want hands on experience and to develop themselves further after studying. So many fields you can go into!
This is the best kind of self promo
Hiya, so I checked out your website and I’m very interested. Here my problem I’m only 15 and I didn’t see anything talking about the age requirement. What’s the cut off age?
@@duolingo_abuse_is_realclub7949 Hi, for our marine biology field course's students must be 18+ years old. However, we do offers other short courses and expeditions for younger guests. If you are in Cape Town send an email and we will make a plan.
this is the best shelf promo I have ever seen if I wasn't ingreecei would take some course for people under 18
I am so glad I came across this video, I wanna major in marine bio (with specialty in marine mammals) and I really wanted to know more about it. This helped so much!!
hey, i’m a sophomore in high school and thinking about majoring in biology! marine biology seems super interesting but i’m worried about the over saturation in the job market
I literally felt the first one 😂😂 im majoring in PreMed and Biology and omg the MATH and the Bio Chemistry. I should not have graduated high school with how terrible i was in math.
Also her plans to tour the other universities in 2020 LOLd in her face because sheesh we are going through it this year
thank you SO much for your content. The fact that I found your channel made my night, I’ve already binge watched Kristina Lynn’s vids and I didn’t know what to do with my life
I just finished my Associates in Biomedical science & am omw to be a marine biologist too! After swapping from nursing to veterinarian to this now😂 I finally found what I wanna do! Thank you!!! I’ll follow you on everything!
The difference between Marine Bio & Marine Science is that Marine Science like you said is the study of the ocean as a hole and Marine Bio is the biological study of the organisms in the ocean. I'm planning on majoring in Marine Bio after I graduate high school.
Alexis Arnold thank you!!
I ALMOST SIGNED UP FOR BIO IN COMMUNITY COLLEGE. Thank you 🥺
Thank you Michaela! This helped me alot as I'm a young beginer!
Would love to hear more on how your views on captivity changed. just curious if you views changed on SeaWorld or captivity in general!
Thank you so so much for making this
Ive always loved marine biology so i better not regret this
I start my 4 year undergraduate marine biology course at uni next month. Kinda nervous but very excited!
I want to be a trop.marine biology and rn I'm young I'm far from my dream
You have all your life you got this! Believe and work it’ll happen I promise
When you said you were excited to start touring schools in 2020 my heart broke... so sorry
that’s okay! thank god for advanced technology because i can take online tours :)
I'm an oceanography major with a minor in marine bio. Oceanography/marine science is split into four areas: physical, chemical, geological, and biological. There's a lot of overlap between the areas (like biogeochem cycles) and marine bio would fall under biological oceanography. Marine bio is more specialized, but marine/ocean science will give you a better understanding of how the ocean works as a whole and how the different areas interact.
Also, it probably depends on your school and program, but marine bio requirements in Canada (generally) are basic calculus, stats and intro chem, but oceanography requires those and physics, so it's more intensive on the math side of things. If you took chem in high school you should be fine, and the stats requirement is usually just one intro stats class, which most people don't find difficult. It's definitely a dry subject, but it's really useful to have. If you're worried about the math and chem requirements, it's mostly just a rehash of high school, so don't let it put you off if you really want to go into marine bio! Most of the gen ed classes are done by the end of first year and tbh the only classes that have actually used my math and chem courses have been my oceanography ones.
I think the difference between science and bio is that the ocean as whole like the objects (sand shipwrecks rocks) too but marine bio focuses only on the living organisms
IM OBSESSED WITH SEAWORLD!!! REASONS WHY I WANT TO GET TO MARINE BIOLOGY
I love your video ! Even if I found it 2yrs later. But Orange coast college is my first option to start studying marine biology. I hope you got into the school of your choice 🥺
What about the mythological marine part? Might sound kinda dumb, but how about the possibilities of future discoveries? And, in terms of biology, how would a human body react to marine mammals'(ex dolphin) cells-injections?
I have never wanted to follow someone more than I do you lol this video speaks volumes to me.
I wanted to be a marine biologist since I was in 4th grade until I graduated. I instead went for an OSH degree but still have a passion for animals especially sea life.
The moment you said chemistry and math my heart crushed. Those are also my absolute worst of the worst subjects I could never understand, and chemistry math doesn't make it better
right!!?? same. Like honestly this has been a dream of mine my whole life but the chemistry and math would just kill me, idk if it’s worth it and it makes me saddd
@@k8eb4d Look at different programs! I'm in Canada and the requirements for marine bio are first year chem (basically a review of high school), one stats class, and usually just differential calc. None of my marine bio courses have really used any of those classes except stats, but my upper-year oceanography classes have. If you go to a larger school the math and chem departments usually have a ton of resources to help first years because they know it can be a struggle.
one question i always have is that, are you required to study every field or do you have freedom to study a particular field.
New sub here! Yes, could you make a video on the daily life of a Marine Bio student? I’m starting in the fall at GWC and I kind of nervous. I went from BIO to MATH and now to Marine Bio after CHEM 180 and C++ kicked my butt. I’m curious on how the classes will be set up now that most if not all of the schools in SoCal are shut down.
iworkoutcuzimfataf most, if not all schools are shut down right now because of Covid, and will most likely stay closed until next school year. I can do a day in my life online school edition!
michaela mansholt
Yes please!
I'm glad I watched this video. I'm currently in a position where I have to choose between marine science and medicine
3 years ago my mom told me to pursue this degree before she passed away. Now 3 years later I'm considering it. The bad part of it is the epidemic right now but one of the universities I'm looking into is Oregon and Seattle. I'm originally from Long Beach, I basically grew up at the aquarium of Pacific. If you get the chance for your internship there, go. You will not regret it. I volunteered a few times while I was in the Marines. And other good school is cal state Long Beach. I thought about going there but I live in Idaho now.
what did you end up doing?
@@eleange9863 I actually got my bachelor's in anthropology and work for the department of energy now lol I just went in this since I had some of the credits for it and my kids are tribal from out here. I haven't given up on pursuing Marine biology, it's just on hold until my little ones are in high school and have enough to move back to Cali for awhile
Hey Michaela!
This video of yours has been really helpful. Where'd you complete your Masters in Marine Bio?
I wanna study Marine bio sooo want more videoss:)))))
I wasn’t sure about becoming a marine biologist, but it seems like it’s good that I like math, chemistry and fish. Ideally I want to become an ichthyologist!
I thought studying the ocean (not the organisms) was oceanography. I might be wrong though
I don’t like sea world cause of there captivity but some places that rescue them are nice like aquariums but they do let them go like the Florida Aquarium
sea worl does have rescue teams outside of when the park is open
world*
like you, I grew up in South Cal and went to seaworld so much that I got tired of going haha
“Can’t wait to tour them in 2020!”
Sorry about how that turned out! 😅
For real though thank you so much for all of the incredible info!
*marine biology vs marine science:*
Marine biology is included in marine science. While marine biology really focuses on the living organisms within the ocean, marine science also includes a lot of chemistry, geography, physics, maths, mechanics etc. So if you want a broad education about the ocean, marine *science* it is. But if you want to focus on the animals and organisms especially, you should choose marine *biology.*
However with a major/phd in marine science you are still a marine biologist :)
At least this is how I understand it.
At the moment I'm going to UTS college to do a diploma of life sciences as a bridging sorta course because I didn't take Chem in highschool, but next year I'll be in a marine biology course and I'm mega excited already
It’s so crazy I love the aquarium world it seems so cool to be able to work there and also have many experience. Idk for me I would like to be able to train orca or dolphins. But rn idk what to do. I like the ocean I want to explore more but I guess My comfort zone is holding me back.
I love this!
Organic chemistry 1&2 and Calculus 2 are the killers, I’m a wildlife biologist with a 2nd major in marine biology. Great video though definitely helps everyone a lot
I will add on the community college part, you may not be able to do marine bio BUT if you do a transfer program you will complete your general classes for 2 years so once you transfer to a university those classes will transfer and you will go in as a junior in university and can start taking classes more focused to your field. Cause why pay so much more for the same classes I can take for thousands less
I think Marine Science would be like ocean levels and salt levels yk stuff like that and Marien Bio is like the animals, plants, bacteria, etc
Can you study multiple fields like if you wanted to study turtles and sharks? Also how much time do you spend in the ocean/water!
For the first one, I’m planning on attending vet school after I graduate and when looking at the courses I’ll have to take, I realized I have to take general chem 1&2, organic chem 1&2, and biochemistry. Not looking forward to it😅
I've wanted to be a Cephalopod marine biologist for years, and I'm FINALLY starting the journey
awesome!! good luck :)
Marine Biology is essentially a subdiscipline of Marine Science. ... except in relation to how these things directly affect the biological organisms. Marine Science covers essentially everthing form marine biology, marine ecology, marine chemistry, marine geology, etc.
did you have to graduate at biology first and then do Marine Bio or you just straight up graduated (as a major) in Marine bio?
I want to do marine biology but I am almost done with my undergrad and can only get Bio-101 and 102 and 2 general chem classes done :( I might be able to do the rest of the pre-requisites at the new university or a community college before.
I'm start my way to be a marine biologist this year! I really suck at math so wooried about that though :(
Thank you for this video it was helpful!
How's that going
I haven’t even watched the video yet, But as soon as I saw the thumbnail! GIRL WHERE DID YOU GET THE ORCA AND ZEBRA SHARK PLUSHY!!
marine science is the study of marine environments, including the animals, plants, chemistry, etc. Marine Biology is the study of organisms in marine systems which includes, plants, fish, mammals, birds, and other biological systems like chemosynthesis.
I have maths dyslexia and I’m scared I won’t be able to do it
Its fine study as much as you can and work towards your dreams! Never give up everyone always has a chance
I do too, you’re not alone!
Hi, my bachelor was in Marine Science and I did Masters in Oceanography from the same institute. And now doing my second masters in Marine Biology in Ocean University of China. Your concept and the comments about the differences between Marine Science and Marine Biology are ok, but I would like to add one more topic. Marine Science also deals with the coastal management as I had a course in my undergrad as "Integrated Coastal Zone Management" which involves the livelihood of the coastal people and effect of sea level rising on their life etc.
#Marine chemistry facts
Come on....Marine chemistry is not so hard like pure chemistry. You will just do a course to gather basic knowledge to improve your understanding. And also has many interesting research topics excluding the use of hard chemistry.
Hey! I’m not sure how your school system works, but at my college, they require up to O-chem :)
Marine science includes oceanography and marine ecology as well as marine bio. So we do more like ecology geology stuff than marine bio majors but we have our fair share of bio too :) at most school marine science majors have more chem too bleh
i can relate to your animal captivity hate and the miserable majoring in Bio!!
It’s just stressful to get into to college, have a job, and volunteer and get skills so u can get a job
Texas A&M University at Galveston focuses solely on ocean majors and the Marine Biology program is really good
I startes wanting to be a marine biologist since I was 9 I am now 13 and now I am searching for things such as schools, any skills needed for example chemistry, mathematics, etc. and yes I am aware not all of it takes place under the water
College of Marin (a community college in California) had an amazing Marine Biology program. I don't know if it is still ongoing,, but fifty years ago it was amazing. They had courses out at Bolinas with an old Coastguard station where the students would bring sleeping bags and sleep on the floor. The college owned a small ship for trawling on Tomales Bay, that Mr. Molina would use to take students for a week in the summer down to Baja California and the Sea of Cortez.
I have no idea how to start :( can you help me?
I have no clue what i wanted to do. I wanted to do marine biology but math is not my subject i even failed algebra 1.... I recently have started to take school more serious especially with math. On the other hand I have always been super good with science with 90s and aboves. The major is gorgeous to me to be able to interact and study with them sounds amazing but I don’t want to go to the college and than realize it might not be right for me
Okay, I know I sound complicated but I have a question. I have a BIG passion for marine mammals and also just the ocean in general. I'm not that interested in the biology part of it though... are there any jobs that you know about where I could work with marine mammals but not specifically study biology? I've thought of becoming a marine mammal trainer or even an aquatic veterinarian but I really don't know.
Any suggestions for which field I could join? I wanna be out in the ocean even if it’s once or twice a month. I wanna save the ocean and study marine life
It seems like a tough major. I'd be willing to buckle down and try it, except I'm afraid I'd need to keep going and get a Masters for it to be worth it.
What school is it called? Or University’s for Marine Bio
I'm only in 8th grade and I have my mind set on being a marine biologist. I've already signed up for a marine science program in high school for early college and I want to go to uncw because I've heard they have a very good marine biology course. I also really wanna volunteer at my local aquarium(I gotta be a freshman to do that tho) so less than a year for that👍
I am 10 and I have wanted to be a marine biologist since I was 8. I did a fake study and report today on things I found on the beach.
I’m about 10 seconds into the video and I really hope this doesn’t ruin my dream of being a marine biologist
i'm planning to major marine bio too so i can apply what i've learned with paleontology
Yeet I love math and chemistry and I want to do marine biology SO bad
"I can't wait to start touring these schools in 2020!" Famous last words
haha no kidding. didn’t even end up going to any of these schools 😂
Im majoring in marine science. Physical, chemical, and biological oceanography is my major.
I live in the country 😭 is there any way to get online courses? My local college only offers biology like ur first college but I want a more focused program. Do I have to move? My family is military and I’m married to a military guy so relocating isn’t difficult necessarily but yeah
I'm a marine bio major and take online classes :) Try Unity College (it's the school I go to). It's affordable and such a warm environment
How much time do you get in the water
I am currently doing a BSc Honours degree in animal science, will this diploma get me into marine biology??. I chose this course because I'm constantly changing my mind, I just know I want to work with animals, bugs, or sealife. So where the course I'm studying is so diverse I thought it was a great fit.
What was the first community college that you went to the first year?
Also watch blackfish On Netflix it mentions sea world and is about captivity it is amazing!!!!!!!!!
I’m starting college this fall and I’m taking math, chem, and biology. And I’m scare because they are all advanced classes.
what type of marine biologist do you want to be? i want to be either a marine mammalogist or a marine ethologist:)
going to be junior in college like tomorrow also a marine bio major why did you think a stem flied would not have much math?
Could you do a video maybe about your Internship at the Aquarium of the Pacific and what you did there? Currently i’m in high school and i’m looking to become an Aquatic vet tech. I haven’t been super successful in finding people who have this job but i have been able to do some research. I have found though that getting into that field it would be good to uphold a marine bio degree or something similar, would you maybe know anything about this?
I was offered with marine biology on a state university but idk how to swim should i still go for it? Huhu
What is on wild settling?
wow i applied to some schools for marine bio and now i don’t wanna do it... i suck at math and chem...
any suggested title for my research thesis related to marine bio course. plss help
Hey I'm 19 and a marine bio major too! I know the struggle lol. I bet we could complain together!
I'm taking marine Biology now, good luck to me haha
I hated taking chem🤦🏽♀️😂
Im sending this to my mom so she can look for marine bio things in florida ive been obsessed ever since i was 3 im 13 now...
3:20 well, there goes that lol 2020
